An IC package is a case component attached to semiconductor chips. It serves multiple functions, including supplying power, protecting the chip from external environmental factors, transmitting signals to and from the chip, and enhancing chip performance.
These packages are integral to a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to various sophisticated electronic devices in homes. As technology evolves, there is a growing demand for smaller, lighter, and more functional packages. They are also adapting to incorporate multiple mechanisms in a single package, especially in sensor devices that operate on multiple wavelengths.
IC packages consist of structures for electrical connection and protection. Electrical connections often use gold plating for high-specification applications. The protective part, known as the sealing material, has traditionally used metal but is now increasingly using resin-based materials for weight and cost efficiency. Ceramics are also gaining popularity due to their superior properties.
Package types vary based on the terminal extension method and the material used for the package body. They range from plastic packages to ceramic packages and include:
Encapsulates multiple chips in one package, suitable for cost reduction and insertion mounting, with excellent heat dissipation performance.
Features terminals extending in two directions, often used for small semiconductor chips.
Has terminals extending in four directions, suitable for various applications.
Includes terminals at the package bottom, allowing for grid-pattern socket mounting.
Ceramics offer high thermal resistance and maintain shape after heat treatment. They are in high demand due to their thermal conductivity and workability, leading to advancements in recycling technology for sustainable material sourcing.
